TOP CLASS FIXTURE AT THE THUNDERDOME

The international break is over, and one of the biggest domestic fixtures is upon us! Muangthong United returns home to the Thunderdome Stadium this Saturday, October 18th, for the highly anticipated clash against True Bangkok United.

This is a major Bangkok clash. The atmosphere will be electric, and the Kirin faithful must rally behind the squad as they seek to improve their standing against a top competitor. The match kicks off at 19:00 hrs.

MTUTD SQUAD FOCUS & INJURY UPDATE

Muangthong currently sits in 9th place on the Thai League table, but the squad is determined to improve that standing against a direct rival. While injuries have taken their toll earlier in the season, the FIFA break has been beneficial: only Willian Popp remains unavailable (out for several months). The team is now at near full strength.

Momentum Builders: Key players Kakana Khamyok, Michael Kempter, and Songwut Kraikruan are returning from strong performances during the international break, adding confidence and quality to the starting lineup.

GOALKEEPER QUOTE:

Muangthong goalkeeper Armin Gremsl commented on the clash: “I’m really looking forward to this match. They are a good team, but we’ve been working hard in preparation and we are playing at home. We can get three points.”
